What is the surface temperature of a neutron star?
-
100,000 - 1,000,000 Kelvin
-
10,000 - 100,000 Kelvin
-
1,000 - 10,000 Kelvin
-
100 - 1,000 Kelvin
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Neutron stars have extremely hot surfaces, with temperatures ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000 Kelvin. This heat is generated by the decay of radioactive elements and the interactions of particles within the star.

What is the ideal temperature for preserving honey?
-
Room temperature (20-25°C)
-
Refrigerator temperature (4-5°C)
-
Freezer temperature (-18°C)
-
Boiling temperature (100°C)
